Veterinarians suggest making sure your dog is vaccinated. And Camp Bow Wow says they require every dog be vaccinated every six months to better protect everyone.

“It’s just like the flu vaccine, and not everybody is 100 percent protected,” Eisel said.

“All of the dogs that come through here are vaccinated so they are less susceptible but they’re still not immune,” Tiziano said.

At Camp Bow Wow, employees are doing what they can to make sure the kennels are as clean as they can be—and also making sure customers know about the outbreak.

“Every customer that calls, emails or comes in, we are explaining the risk to them,” Tiziano said.

Veterinarians say kennel cough can usually be treated and cured with antibiotics, but you’ll still want to see a professional. Some case can get more severe than others, especially if your dog hasn’t been vaccinated.
